Where can I buy infrared film to photo homes we may buy to show heat leaks?

What do I need to photo heat loss in homes and where can I get the film developed? Is there color infrared film, or only black and white?|||There is both color and black and white infrared film. The color film is usually slide film. It requires a good 35 mm slr type camera and a red filter on the lens (even for the color). Try www.freestylephoto.biz. They just had a nice article on line about infrared film. Now whether or not it will do the job you want, is hard to say. They can also advise you on where to get it developed.|||try asking in consumer electronics/cameras|||Homes have 2 functions related to heat. One is heat loss in the winter and the other is to stop heat gain in the summer.





Infrared film needs some hotter objects where the heat loss from buildings can be a subtle change.





Infrared technology requires more than equipment purchase, you need a professional background in the area you are imaging.





Go to this link to see the most advanced thermal imaging applications in the world. Go to http://www.thermoguy.com/globalwarming-h鈥?/a> to see what heat loss in a building looks like. Look at commercial buildings where the heaters are on the roof and the thermostat is 5 feet off the floor. Heat rises so an excessive waste of fossil fuels.

Try contacting a local building inspection company.


they'll do scans on your home for a price.
